Secure a role in one of Australia’s fastest-growing industries, with a Cert IV in Ageing Support

Are you a compassionate person, with a deep-seeded desire to make a real difference in people’s lives? You’re in luck – the aged care industry is currently one of the fastest growing sectors in Australia, as the Baby Boomer generation is retiring and seeking quality support services from reputable organisations.

This means that not only can you feel good about the fact that your work is improving people’s lifestyles and happiness, but there are many benefits that come with working in aged care, and you can also rest assured that your skillset will be in high demand for the foreseeable future with endless career opportunities.

With Australia’s rapidly ageing population, a career in aged care makes perfect sense

In mid-2016, 3.7 million Australians were aged 65 or older; making up 15% of the country’s population. It’s estimated that in another five years, this number will increase to more than 5 million (approximately 18% of Australia’s projected 2026 population).

But here’s the most significant statistic: the amount of Aussies receiving aged care is expected to increase a staggering 150% over the course of the next four decades.

This means countless more jobs, with a vast array of career progression opportunities. Not to mention, you’ll be making an important difference now and in the future.

So, that’s the career path covered – what about the qualifications? Thankfully, TrainSmart makes tertiary education a breeze, with flexible online learning.
